David Hynes is an Irish poet, comedian and performer who has been bringing his distinctive blend of humour, honesty and soul-searching verse to audiences across the country for almost a decade.
A veteran of Electric Picnic, Body & Soul and many other much-loved festival stages, David’s work moves between comedy and poetry with a voice shaped by pain, necessity, wit and survival.
His performances are energetic, self-aware and sharply human, finding humour in vulnerability and meaning in the messy edges of life.
Over the years, he has built a loyal following through live shows that balance emotional depth with irreverence and comic timing.
As he embarks on what he describes as his biggest voyage yet, David continues to write and perform with originality, nerve and a refreshing dislike of anyone who talks about themselves in the third person.
